The ultimate destiny of Ogden as a great modern city le the main consideration to keep in view in ell theae matters. The growth of the city may be reierded; much of the business and wealth that should come naturally to this city may be deflected into other channels by pursuing a narrow and proscriptive ollry.

And even much of the interest is detracted from thia convention because of the fact that many of the important nominations are disposed of beforehand. It ia agreed that William Rpry shall b, the nominee for governor; that f. McCarty shall be named for supreme Judge; that Charles S. Tingey shall succeed himself ae secretary of state; and. in the minds of many, Joseph Howell will be the nominee for congress. It goes without saying that Reed Smoot la to have no opposition in hie party for the eenatorshlp. There have been rumbling of opposition to Howell's nomination. Parley P. Christensen la an active candidate for the nomination and Benner X. Smith ia a receptive candidate. Conditions In Rail Lake county will have much to do with this nomination. Republicans are In danger of losing that county to the Americans.1 If the party managers decide that either Christensen or flmlth would strengthen them there and giv, them a better opportunity t0 cop, with the Americana Howell will he sacrificed.

Thia la not because there I not an abundance of good material for state officers in thia county, but because of the unfortunate situation In which the Republican party finds Itself In every state convention.
